1. The discovery of the cell occurred in 1665. The cell has made great progress in the discovery of how humans and other organisms work.

2. The discovery of genetic material in DNA occurred in 1865. This allowed us to determine different traits in mammals. As well as how we can determine different traits, and the percent chance of obtaining these traits.

3. In 1885 the cell culture technique was first developed. This allows us to view cells outside of their environment to study how they work. In turn this has provided us with information about different viruses and how to create vaccines for these.

4. The Invention of the electron microscope occurred in 1931. The electron microscope is used to see molecular levels of the cell that cannot be seen by the naked eye. This has helped us drastically improve our understanding of cells.

5. The discovery of the mechanisms of light-independent reactions of photosynthesis was discovered in 1953. This discovery helps us in understanding how plants work, and how they get energy from light.

6. The DNA structure was first discovered in 1953. This discovery has lead us to understand more about diseases that are caused by missing parts of our DNA structure and how this structure regulates everything about us.

7. The role of Cyclic AMP was discovered in 1971. This is a second messenger that transfers the effects of hormones into the cell as it cannot pass the cell membrane.

8. The invention of southern blotting occurred in 1975. This allows us to find a certain sequence of DNA in a large strand. Southern blotting is also used in cloning techniques.

9. The Discovery of the PCR technique occurred in 1983. This technique is used to copy small amount of DNA unlimited amounts of time. This can play a large role today in forensic evidence as it uses small amounts of DNA, it can trace back to suspects by this small amount.

10. Dolly the cloned sheep was

    Ans> The chain of events led to the discovery of DNA as the heritable substance and the discovery of the structure of DNA. In the late nineteenth century, a German biochemist Friedrich Miescher found the nucleic acids which are long-chain polymers of nucleotides, and are made up of sugar, phosphoric acid, and several nitrogen-containing bases. Later it was found that the sugar in nucleic acid can be ribose or deoxyribose, giving two formsie RNA and DNA. In 1943, American Oswald Avery proved that DNA carries genetic information. He even suggested DNA might actually be the gene. Usually people thought that the gene would be protein, not nucleic acid, but by the late 1940s, DNA was largely accepted as the genetic molecule.…

    Many don’t know that this information is false. DNA was actually first discovered in the late 1860s by Friedrich Miescher, a Swiss chemist. He found a new compound he called “nuclein” from the nuclei of cells. This is now called nucleic acid, which is the “NA” part of DNA (deoxyribo-nucleic-acid). Earlier, a monk Gregor Mendel conducted a series of experiments with peas, and “his observations turned out to be closely connected to the finding of nuclein,” according to the “Noble Prize” website. He proved that certain traits we inherited in different “packages”, what we now call genes. Watson and Crick were attempting to discover the structure of DNA in the early 1950s at Cambridge University, racing against Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin at King’s College. Wilkins and Franklin used an experimental approach to the study, according to nobelprize.org, “using x-ray diffraction to understand the physical structure of the DNA molecule.” Most scientists studying the structure of DNA were using similar methods. However, Watson and Crick used stick-and-ball models, physically building them, to “test their ideas on the possible structure of DNA.” They wasted much time and work at one point, after being misled from Watson remembering a few specific numbers from Franklin’s speech about her new discoveries on DNA. Later, they took a crucial step, and suggested that “the molecule was…

    In 1990, the government decided that they wanted to know more about humans and what made us unique. To do this, they started the Human Genome Project in order to try and sequence the entire human genome and get a better idea about how the human body works. In 2001, this goal was realized with an entire map of the human genome was sequenced. From there, doctors and researchers were able to start to have a better understanding of human genetics, and could start working out potential cures for certain genetic diseases. Though this step seemed to be the milestone for understanding of human genetics, it only really scratched the surface of how genetics work and how we can make it better for the future.…

    The existence of genes first became a hypothetical theory in 1866. It was introduced by Gregor Mendel. His studies was not taken serious until 1902 when researchers found some of Mendel’s old work. Within the next twenty years, many methods for gene mapping and for experimentally induced mutations were developed. Starting in 1940, researchers in this field started using microbes in their experiments. This microbes includes fungi, bacteria, and bacterial viruses. In the next few years, a merging of the study of genetics and biochemistry led to a division of genetics called molecular genetics. In 1953, experimentation of deoxyribonucleic acid, DNA, led to advancement in molecular studies. During the 1970s, gene cloning and DNA sequencing methods were developed. The next big step in science happened in the 1980s when methods for DNA marker analysis, DNA fingerprinting and polymerase chain reaction, PCR, were all developed. During the 1990s, whole genome sequencing methods were developed. This new method led to the make of the study of all the genes in a genome. This field of study is called genomics. The accessibility of whole genome sequences also led to the make of the study of all proteins coded by a single…

    The History of Cell Theory As we all probably know today, every single living being is made up by cells – the building blocks of life. As much as we would like to take this fact for granted, we cannot help but acknowledge and remember the works and discoveries of earlier scientists which all contributed to our today's understanding of the cell theory. The cell theory being; all living things are composed of one or more cells, cells are organisms' basic units of structure and function, and cells only come from existing cells. Their discoveries lead to the development of inventions necessary to induce further research in the area which resulted in the creation of devices such as the microscope.…

    To fully understand the importance of this discovery, the parts that make up DNA must be discussed. DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic Acid. In 1868, a gentleman by the name of Friedrich Miescher discovered nuclein which is how the term “nucleic acid” got to be in the name. Before this, an experiment was done by Gregor Mendel that involved peas. His experiment proved that the shade of green was passed down through the different groups of peas. This would prove that genes are important in DNA and that what one is made of now is passed down through generations. Then, in 1944, Oswald Avery cemented this theory by moving a disease from one strand of bacteria to another. Not only did this prove the nucleic acid idea,…

    From 1928 to 1952, experiments done by Frederick Griffith, Oswald Avery, Alfred Hershey, and Martha Chase all did experiments that contributed to the discovery of the DNA. Frederick Griffith experiment was done in 1928, Oswald Avery’ was done during the early 1940’s, and Alfred Hershey’s with help from Martha Chase was done in 1952. All of these experiments contributed to the idea known as translation, the process of cell ribosomes converting proteins to messenger RNA, or mRNA. Because of how they helped with discovering translation, these three experiments help lead to the discovery of DNA.…
